Spring Valley Police department arrest announcement.

Alex Draughn, 49, is charged with first-degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon after a 36-year-old man was stabbed during an alleged dispute.

A 49-year-old Spring Valley man has been arrested in connection with a stabbing that left a 36-year-old man injured on North Main Street earlier this month, police said.

Alex Draughn was arrested on October 21 following an investigation by the Spring Valley Police Department into the October 17 incident.

Police said officers responded to 94 North Main Street at approximately 8:40 p.m. after receiving a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers found a 36-year-old man suffering from an apparent stab wound to his left arm and experiencing significant bleeding.

Officers immediately applied a tourniquet to control the bleeding before the victim was transported to Westchester Medical Center for treatment. The victim is expected to make a full recovery, according to police.

Detectives responded to the scene and launched an investigation. Preliminary findings indicated that a dispute occurred between the victim and the suspect, during which the victim was allegedly stabbed.

No arrests were made at the scene.

Following what police described as an extensive investigation, Draughn was taken into custody four days later and charged with Assault in the First Degree and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Fourth Degree.

Draughn was arraigned in Spring Valley Justice Court before Judge Sweet and remanded to the Rockland County Jail, police said.

A criminal complaint is an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

STONY POINT, NY — Ryan O’Shea, a 21-year-old college hockey captain from Stony Point in Rockland County, was killed in a wrong-way crash on Interstate 91 in Connecticut on October 16, 2026.

O’Shea was a senior at the University of New Haven, where he studied criminal justice and served as captain of the men’s club hockey team.

The Rockland County native had aspirations of pursuing a career in law enforcement after graduation. He hoped to become an officer with the New York City Police Department (NYPD), with the ultimate goal of joining the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Those dreams were cut short when O’Shea was killed in the October 16 crash.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the crash involved Guillermo Carmona-Lopez, a driver whom federal officials say had previously been deported from the United States.

DHS stated that Carmona-Lopez had illegally entered the United States multiple times and was issued a final removal order in May 2013.

The circumstances surrounding O’Shea’s death have brought attention to the driver’s reported immigration history and raised questions about immigration enforcement and public safety.

O’Shea’s death represents a devastating loss for his family, friends, teammates, and the Rockland County community.

A college senior, hockey team captain, and aspiring law enforcement officer, O’Shea had been preparing for a future dedicated to serving and protecting others.

His life was tragically cut short at just 21 years old.
